Souza is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

Souza hadn't gotten a day off since April 23, so manager Kevin Cash decided to give him a regular day of rest for the series opener. Brandon Guyer will slide over to right field to fill his spot in the field while Corey Dickerson and Desmond Jennings fill out the rest of the outfield.
